Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Coventry Films like "Southbound" make me mad. Seriously mad, even, because they enhance the dreadful misconception that horror movies nowadays don't require a good script or a coherent plot if there's a cool gimmick (in this case interlacing segments) and lots of gory special effects. What makes these so-called writers and directors (including the collective "Radio Silence" or whatever they call themselves) think they are permitted to just put together a bunch of semi-processed ideas and underdeveloped storylines, but then sell it as a brimful anthology? I'll be the first to admit that the concept of "Southbound" demonstrates a lot of potential, but every segment feels incomplete and raises multiple questions rather than providing thrills and entertainment. In the first segment: what the heck are these skeletal creatures supposed to be and why are these two blokes trapped in a sort of time warp? During the second chapter: what ever happened to the fourth girl the others keep referring to? Who are their assailants and what drives them? One girl escapes, but what's the fate of the other two? The third segment is the most satisfying, but still: why is the hospital abandoned and who are the voices on the phone? Segment four is the most frustrating of them all and I can't even begin to describe what the purpose of this tale is. The final story is a prelude to the first but doesn't clarify anything. We still don't know about the background of these people and we're still guessing what the skeletal creatures are. For some incomprehensible reason, "Southbound" has quite a large fan-base and surely the geeks love to endlessly debate about alternate dimension theories, hidden clues, suggestive backgrounds, etc... This isn't cinema in the league of David Lynch; - it's only a mediocre and overly pretentious horror anthology. I would normally give a rating 4 or even 5, because the special effects are admirably gruesome and there certainly are a handful of atmospherically tense moments, but the lack of screenplay is so infuriating that I stick to the minimum rating. Consider it a statement.

yu-85167 Similar tone with V/H/S but that's it. not terrifying just boring. I don't recommend this film much.

Stevieboy666 Watched this for the first time yesterday. Five good stories that flow seamlessly into the next and with a good, but slightly confusing wrap around one. The pace is quite fast, great desert locations, good acting and some serious amounts of blood and gore. I think that this film would benefit from repeated viewings, no doubt revealing more of the film's meaning each time.

Andy Van Scoyoc I'm not sure what movie everyone else was watching, but it obviously wasn't the same one I was watching.Stories like this can be great, if they're tied in well enough, but this one wasn't. It took far too long and was too convoluted to be enjoyable.Nothing was explained well enough to make this film anything more than a tedious waste of time.I don't like to have to guess at what I'm watching...and this film was simply a chore to watch...nothing more.Avoid...
